No Such Thing As Too Much Love!

There’s an old Don Williams country song, Too Much Love, which speaks well of the situation we find ourselves in today.  The song goes:

Too much coffee, too much tea, too much sugar isn’t good for me.

Too much money and too much fame, too much liqueur drives a man insane.

But too much love, too much love,

There’s no such thing as too much love.

Too much misery and fighting, there too much trouble in this world for me.

There’s too much trouble in this world for me, There’s too much of this and too much of that and too much of anything that will make you fat.

There’s no such thing as too much love.

I realize that the songwriter is talking probably about lust rather than love but I want to talk about God’s love.  There is no such thing as too much of God’s love.  If you contemplate what effort He went through to show us His love, you have too admit that there’s no such thing as too much of God’s love. 

I have been trying to show you Jehovah-Rapha, the God that heals.  As we go thru the gospels, examining Christ’s work, it almost gets repetitive looking at His healing of the sick.  But God is telling us that there is no such thing as too much healing.  Jesus kept repeating Himself, showing us picture after picture of His Father.  His healing nature is an expression of His love for us.  His love is not just for our souls, but, for our bodies.  Christ did not just minister to people's souls, he met their physical needs.   A few days ago we were following Jesus as He healed all the sick that were brought to Him.  Following that, Jesus and His disciples got into a boat and shortly they were overwhelmed by a storm.  His disciples were terrified, even after just seeing Jesus heal all the sick.  After  seeing Jesus meet the needs of all those people, they still were afraid!  Sounds like something we would do!  Jesus first rebuked the disciples for their “little faith” and then rebuked the winds and seas.  The winds and seas calmed and the disciples marveled!

You’d think that after all this that Satan would lay off for a little while; but no.  As they landed, they were met by a demon possessed man. The demons speaking thru the man asked Jesus, “Have you come here to torment us”.  Wouldn’t you think that Satan would have just had the guy stay low and avoid Jesus.  No, Satan, still has his pride, the thing that caused his fall.  Satan thought then and still thinks that he can win.  Jesus had to deal with him and so do we!  That is why the Father has given us His Armor!

There’s too much misery and fighting.

There too much trouble in this world.

BUT

There’s sooo much love!
